KALAMAZOO TOWNSHIP — A Kalamazoo Township man who police say fired a gunshot into a mattress while in his apartment with his wife and two young daughters was charged Tuesday with six crimes.

William Henry Miner II, 42, was arraigned in Kalamazoo County District Court on charges of possession of a short-barreled rifle and discharging a firearm in or at a building, both felonies, and felony use of a firearm possession, Kalamazoo County Prosecutor Jeff Fink said. He was also charged with three misdemeanor counts of fourth-degree child abuse, the prosecutor said.

Kalamazoo Township police said Miner fired at least one round that struck a mattress and box spring inside his residence at Big Bend Apartments, 2220 Gull Road. Fink declined to say Tuesday what investigators believe led to the incident.

Police responded to the apartment complex at about midnight Monday after receiving a report from the man’s wife that he had fired a gun in their residence. The wife and the couple’s daughters, ages 1 and 3, were home at the time but were not injured, Lt. Bryan Ergang said.

Fink said two of the child abuse charges stem from the allegation that Miner engaged in actions that posed “an unreasonable risk of harm” to his two daughters. The third child abuse charge stems from an allegation that Miner placed a loaded gun “in or upon” a bed occupied by his 3-year-old during the incident, the prosecutor said.

Police said Miner was arrested at the scene Tuesday morning when he walked out of his residence and surrendered without incident. At the time, officers were in the process of surrounding the apartment and evacuating tenants.

Police seized several other firearms found in the residence, Ergang said.

Bond for Miner was set at $10,000 cash/surety following his arraignment. He is scheduled to be back in court April 6 for a hearing on evidence against, a court official said.
